    In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

    Mix the Filling

    In a bowl, crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the sautéed spinach. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut them into squares (about 10x10 cm).

  4. 4

    Fill the Pastry

    Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
